Okay, I've been getting pretty interested in playing the synth. I want to able to play songs like Enter Shikari and write my own music. I'm a complete noobie and everyone on this forum seems to be experienced so sorry if i come across as stupid >.<. I was just wondering what i should do to learn how to play and stuff, like i can get the keys down but i'm not so sure about the knobs. Are there any beginner books like at Barnes and Nobles at all?
Just please fill me in with things i need to know in a beginner's terms.
